Rain data and water-level data are importantly used for dam operation at flood period. Because dams are directly controlled by the water-level data, the characteristic of the water-level gauges is necessary to be managed. Thus, we developed the standard test facility and method for testing the water-level gauges which are a float type, a supersonic type and a radar type. And we calculated the uncertainty of the standard test facility to maintain the accuracy of water-level gauges. Through development of this facility, we could obtain the characteristics and the calibration factor of the water-level gauges. And, this study showed that the standard test facility can be widely used for dam operation and basin management.

This paper describes partial turbulence simulation and validation of the aerodynamic pressures on building models for an open-jet small-scale 12-Fan Wall of Wind (WOW) facility against their counterparts in a boundary-layer wind tunnel. The wind characteristics pertained to the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) mean wind speed profile and turbulent fluctuations simulated in the facility. Both in the wind tunnel and the small-scale 12-Fan WOW these wind characteristics were produced by using spires and roughness elements. It is emphasized in the paper that proper spectral density parameterization is required to simulate turbulent fluctuations correctly. Partial turbulence considering only high frequency part of the turbulent fluctuations spectrum was simulated in the small-scale 12-Fan WOW. For the validation of aerodynamic pressures a series of tests were conducted in both wind tunnel and the small-scale 12-fan WOW facilities on low-rise buildings including two gable roof and two hip roof buildings with two different slopes. Testing was performed to investigate the mean and peak pressure coefficients at various locations on the roofs including near the corners, edges, ridge and hip lines. The pressure coefficients comparisons showed that open-jet testing facility flows with partial simulations of ABL spectrum are capable of inducing pressures on low-rise buildings that reasonably agree with their boundary-layer wind tunnel counterparts.

Seismic isolation and vibration control techniques have been developed and put into practical use by challenging researchers and engineers worldwide since the latter half of the 20th century, and after more than 40 years, they are now used in thousands of buildings, private residences, highways in many seismic areas in the world. Seismic isolation and vibration control structures can keep the structures undamaged even in a major earthquake and realize continuous occupancy. This performance has come to be recognized not only by engineers but also by ordinary people, becoming indispensable for the formation of a resilient society. However, the dynamic characteristics of seismically isolated bearings, the key elements, are highly dependent on the size effect and rate-of-loading, especially under extreme loading conditions. Therefore, confirming the actual properties and performance of these bearings with full-scale specimens under prescribed dynamic loading protocols is essential. The number of testing facilities with such capacity is still limited and even though the existing labs in the US, China, Taiwan, Italy, etc. are conducting these tests, their dynamic loading test setups are subjected to friction generated by the large vertical loads and inertial force of the heavy table which affect the accuracy of measured forces. To solve this problem, the authors have proposed a direct reaction force measuring system that can eliminate the effects of friction and inertia forces, and a seismic isolation testing facility with the proposed system (E-isolation) will be completed on March 2023 in Japan. This test facility is designed to conduct not only dynamic loading tests of seismic isolation bearings and dampers but also to perform hybrid simulations of seismically isolated structures. In this paper, design details and the realization of this system into an actual dynamic testing facility are presented and the outcomes are discussed.

발사체나 재돌입 비행체는 대기 중을 높은 Mach 수로 비행함으로써 그 표면이 공력가열 현상에 의한 초고온 환경에 노출되게 된다. 이러한 공력가열로부터 발사체 자체나 탑재체를 보호하기 위해서는 물체 표면에 가해지는 열적 부하(Thermal Load)를 정확히 예측하고 필요한 곳에는 적절한 단열 처리를 해 주어야만 한다. 그러나 탑재체의 중량을 최대한 늘리기 위해서는 지나친 단열재의 추가를 막을 수 있도록 엄밀한 열 해석 및 시험이 수행 되어야 할 것이며, 최종적으로 공력가열 시험에 의해서 필요한 단열재의 양이 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket) 시리즈의 개발을 위해 사용되어 왔던 공력가열 시험설비(ATSF, Aerodynamic Thermal Simulation Facility)를 KSLV 시리즈의 개발에 적합하도록 사양 향상(Upgrade) 시키기 위한 설계를 위해 고려해야할 사항이 무엇인지 살펴보았다. 먼저 설비의 필요성 및 그 한계에 대하여 고찰하였으며, KSLV 개발을 위해서는 어떤 기능을 갖추어야 할지를 고려하였다. 마지막으로 필요한 장비의 사양을 대략적으로 제안하였으며, 이는 앞으로 수행될 상세 설계 및 제작/설치의 밑바탕이 될 것이다.

European Material Test Reactors (MTRs) have provided essential support for nuclear power programs over the last 40 years. MTRs are now ageing in Europe and they cannot ensure the securing of experimental capability for the next decades. In this context, a new Material Testing Reactor, named Jules Horowitz Reactor -JHR-, operated as an international user-facility, is under development in Europe. The European MTRs context and the JHR objectives and status will be presented. Emphasis will be put on experiments in the field of nuclear fuels and materials irradiation which are developed in the framework of European and international collaboration.

In modern times, threat of high power electromagnetic wave is increasing. When the electrical grid and communication network are attacked by these high power electromagnetic wave, the whole infrastructure is paralyzed. To protect the infrastructure from these high power electromagnetic wave threat, the shielding facility that can block high power electromagnetic wave is constructed. Also shielding effectiveness evaluation about the constructed facility is important. But, because of space efficiency and saving of construction cost to construct the actual shielding facility, the shielding room wall is generally adjacent to exterior concrete structures. As space between shielding facility wall and concrete structures is very small, arranging the transmitting antenna exterior shielding facility is realistically difficult. Therefore, in this research, The shielding effectiveness measurement plan in the state of exterior narrow space of HEMP shielding facility is presented. And to apply this plan, The influence of shielding effectiveness according to the size of the shielding facility is analyzed.

This paper details a testing facility ("NATURAL FIRE FACILITY") that allows closely-controlled experimental testing on full-scale sub-frames while reproducing the spatially transient temperature conditions measured in real fires. Using this test facility, an experimental investigation of six steel sub-frames under a natural fire was carried out at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Coimbra. The main objective of these tests was to provide insight into the influence of these connection types on the behaviour of steel sub-structures under fire. The experimental layout is defined by two thermally insulated HEA300 columns and an unprotected IPE300 beam with 5.7 m span, supporting a composite concrete slab. Beam-to-column connections are representative of the most common joint type used on buildings: welded joints and extended, flush and partial depth plate. Finally, the available results are presented and discussed: evolution of the steel temperature; development of displacements and local deformations and failure modes on the joints zone.
